Hiero

This is an intriguing release that I’m keen to have more of a look at. Basically The Foundry have squished Hiero and Nuke together into one app, with some GPU accelerated versions of some of the usual Nuke nodes that you can apply within the timeline of the editing side of the application, and a render farm back-end that allows you to render comps in the background (will also hook into any current render farm you might have). So you get editorial, FX and finishing all in the one app. More
